In addition, although not shown, but the pneumatic tire involved by illustrated above, present embodiment has and conventional inflation The same meridional section shape of tire.Herein, the meridional section shape of pneumatic tire refers to, is put down in vertical with equatorial plane The cross sectional shape of the pneumatic tire occurred on face.The pneumatic tire of present embodiment is in tire meridional section view, from tire Radially inner side has bead part, sidewall, shoulder portion and fetus face towards outside.Also, above-mentioned pneumatic tire is for example being taken turns Have in tire meridional section view:Body piles, it extends to the bead part of both sides and around a pair of bead core and rollback from fetus face; And the belt that sequentially forms of tire radial outside and belt reinforcing layer in above-mentioned body piles.
And then the pneumatic tire of present embodiment can pass through conventional various manufacturing processes, i.e. tire material mixes work Inspection operation after sequence, tire material manufacturing procedure, green tire molding procedure, vulcanization process and vulcanization etc. obtains.In manufacture originally In the case of the pneumatic tire of embodiment, especially will in the inwall of vulcanization mould, such as formed with shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 The groove that is formed of fetus face and land portion corresponding to convex portion and recess, vulcanized using the mould.
In addition, in the pneumatic tire of present embodiment, especially it is determined that contour line PL1, PL2, PL3 shown in Fig. 2 When, according to following step.
I.e., first, reference contour PL0 shape is determined.For example, in the case where reference contour PL0 is circular arc, really Its fixed radius of curvature.On the radius of curvature, it is important to set it to various values according to tire size, in the present embodiment It is the size of more than 5 times of its section height and less than 20 times.
Then, it is determined that in 4 points of tire width direction two-end-point A1, A2, A3, A4 comprising 2 central major trough 14a, 14b At least 2 points (for example, point A1 and point A3) and there is the circular arc of the radius of curvature R 0 of center on equatorial plane CL PL0。
It is next determined that point A1, A3 on the inside of the tire width direction comprising 2 central major trough 14a, 14b and having The circular arc PL1 of the small radius of curvature R 1 (0.3≤R1/R0≤0.4) of radius of curvature R 0 than circular arc PL0.
Finally, it is determined that point A2 (A4) on the outside of the tire width direction comprising 2 central major trough 14a (14b) and having The circular arc PL2 (PL3) of the small radius of curvature R 2 (R3) (0.75≤R2 (R3)/R0≤0.95) of radius of curvature R 0 than circular arc PL0. From point A2 (A4) to tire width direction, outside extends into and across ground connection end line E (E ') to circular arc PL2 (PL3), in point P (P ') and circle Arc PL0 intersects.
In addition, tires of the circular arc PL1 and circular arc PL2 (PL3) in the circumferential slot 14a (14b) close to equatorial plane CL is wide Intersect in degree direction region.In addition, point P (P ') compares earth terminal with more than the 3% of tyre contact width and less than 5% size respectively Line E (E ') is by the outside of tire width direction.
In the case where reference contour PL0 is circular arc, by making the radius of curvature of the circular arc be the 5 of its section height More than times, it is the shape radially excessively protruded to tire that can prevent reference contour PL0 itself.Thereby, it is possible to will not make compared with Contour line PL1, PL2, PL3 more prominent to tire radial outside reference contour PL0 radius of curvature is too small, fully realizes each The ground connection property in land portion improves.In addition, by making above-mentioned radius of curvature to make reference wheel for less than 20 times of its section height Profile PL0 itself is the shape radially fully protruded to tire.Thereby, it is possible to make compared with reference contour PL0 more to tire radial direction Contour line PL1, PL2, PL3 protruding outside radius of curvature is fully small, fully realizes the ground connection property in each land portion and improves.
